Yes, it is a pre WW2 Czech cartridge.
You can identify the round at the WW2 style primer 30/40 and the 4 stack primer crimp. Your round has an uxa head stamp. They also exist without.
I do not think it is ammo for an MG on airplanes. After WW2 they were exporting a lot of ammunition legal/illegal to Israel.
